ABSTRACT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Atrophy of the vastus medialis obliquus (VMO) is a common clinical finding in PFPS patients. As it is believed that VMO helps to hold the patella in position by applying a medial force to counteract the lateral pull of the larger vastuslateralis (VL) muscle. The suggestion is that where muscular imbalance occurs, the supposedly stronger pull of the lateral structures will create the lateral tracking of the patella which is thought to play a key role in patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS).<\/p>\n

This case report has shown that specifically targeted physiotherapy protocol has promising and encouraging role in management of PFPS and in correction of patellar maltracking.<\/p>\n

Key words:<\/strong> PFPS, VMO, Patellar maltracking anterior knee pain.<\/p>\n
